I had actually started to get a little hopeful that we might actually start to join to rest of the civilized world over the next few years. Guess not.

all the assholes making corny puns here are gross. shut the fuck up. 

Good for Bernie! The dominant Nevada win is what the candidates were hoping to get out of Iowa. The number of delegates is irrelevant, rather the margin of victory that gives a wave that you can ride for a while.

Can we just call Bloomberg- Trump Lite. That is what he is.

if that had anything whatsoever to do with this particular subject, then sure. We are not doing so great with our muslim community. Then again not a lot of countries really are. At least our borders aren’t closed to them.

But that has nothing to do with the subject. I wasn’t saying France would be perfect if we sorted…

Yeah no, I’m with Jessica. Not that I think they’re of the devil or whatever, but it is really uncool to attempt to derail a woman talking about her experience with sexual abuse and alcoholism. Stay on topic, protestors. When she talks fashion you can interrupt.

Maybe her putting it all out there will help other people know going through similar stuff that these things happen, even to the rich, famous and beautiful? Maybe she’s helping to normalize conversations that should be more normal?

It sounds like Clinton is only concerned with party unity when party unity benefits her. Because, while I think both Clinton and Sanders have things they could legitimately be upset about from 2016, only Clinton is refusing to move the fuck on. The reality is, Sanders is running in second place and is the second…

I’ve complained about this before, and here I am again. *Why* do you keep framing excerpts from Jessica Simpson’s memoir that deal with her childhood sexual abuse as something salacious that you want to read immediately so you’ll be up on all the ~*hot goss*~?!!

That’s not accurate, though. There are a shit ton of us that voted for Bernie in the primary in 2016, yet fell in line and voted for Hillary when she got the nomination. I plan to do the same this time around. 

At this point i’m not even thinking of Pete Buttigieg; never bought into his candidacy. I’m thinking what the hell has happened to “mainstream” journalism? How could all that shit be out there yet none of the big players (nbc/cbs/abc/cnn/msnbc etc) report on it or even find out about it? Disgraceful!

Well, if you’re not a prude, then just let the woman dance. She’s having fun and spreading that enjoyment to others. Racists might find her a convenient tool for mocking the community but if she didn’t exist, they’d just use someone else. T’hell with ‘em. You can’t live your best life if you worry about what people…

Is this Dessen’s kinja account? Someone giving tepid praise to your book is “being an asshole”? And if Dessen can react this poorly to someone making an offhand comment about her book and you defend that, I’m not sure why you don’t also think everyone else has the right to think she’s unhinged in reaction to her.

“I am not quite moved by a still of Pelosi simply doing her job. I am also not moved by this photo of Jackie Robinson simply doing his job, I mean, he’s supposed to be a baseball player, isn’t that what he’s paid for?”

Agree on both counts. I can understand fully why the brother would elect to not carry hatred and anger around with him. The shooting was more than a year ago and I expect he’s gone through many emotional states during that time.

I don't have an issue with their decision to forgive. I have and will have numerous issues with the white people who will point to this gesture as an example for black people to follow after the next tragedy.

The Jean family can grieve any way they choose, and if forgiveness helps any of them cope, I have no objection to it.

The judge going to comfort her, and the police officer later are another story. That was too far. After so much evidence was presented about he lack of care for the victims well being. How little she…

Why is the judge hugging this woman? Why is the bailiff petting her like a puppy? What the fuck is going on with this shit?

For as long as commercial film making has been in existence, storylines have included or blatantly celebrated misogyny, relegating female characters to that of loyal, imbecilic wife, fuckpiece, or punching bag. All of the moralizing over how utterly despicable this storyline and behavior of the protagonists is makes…

How in the worlds an adult do you do that to a teen girl and not realize you are the villain in this story?
